All that I am, I offer at that altar of love. In sweet surrender.

Chorus: Grandmother I hear you calling Grandfather I hear you calling Great Spirit I hear you calling Calling me home Vs 1 We'll soar like the eagle and dance in the wind and we'll pray like no other for this is how it begins and dance on the light of the stars and the moon and we'll howl like the wolf who knows just what to do Ch. Vs 2 We'll swim with the dolphins and we'll play in the waves and we'll sing with the whales and remember ancient ways ya Mahalo Ke Akua Aloha Aina We thank you for this life and all you've given us Ch Vs. 1 Ch

Vs. Oh the roads you'll travel Oh the things you'll see Oh the lives you'll live Oh the things you'll be Traveling on this road Ever towards the one. Down through the sun's halo, White as the snow. Flies the dove of love Perched on my shoulder now And nuzzles against my cheek Telling me what's to be. Ch. This is one dove's dedication to the flower of life. Vs. To live from the heart is to live to be free, And give thanks to the mother for she is the seed. When we came from the stars and the heavens to the Sea, to the earth where we placed our own bare feet She embraced us with her love and said you are welcome child of God. Take care of the land from there you will eat Keep the water clean from there you will drink The sun ray's gold will bath your soul And the air you breath in will energize The whole of your being, connected to all that is. Ch Purify the body, purify the mind, then songs you will sing to know the divine. Speak truth from your words and all will reveal, reflections we are all on this wheel. Spinning through space and time, one more journey closer to the divine. To serve and be served is one way to be free And to love and to give unconditionally Hold reverence for life and all you perceive For this life is what you make it to be And let grace fall upon you for you will know that you are infinity Ch I'm givin' her all my love to the flower of life

Vs 1 Moonlight shine bright in the night when it's right All souls called home chanting OM breathing slow All told from the old ancient scrolls unfold This life, one life, free from strife, use the knife To discern what to learn, like the ashes from the urn We rise from the lies, be wise in these times Commit, dedicate, be lit, radiate, One Truth, one love, one heart, one part Of the whole dear soul, you are whole when you flow With the heart, play your part, it's an art from the start With your guide third eye, step inside you will find You and I, I and I, God and I, who's the I? Ch You are one with all creation A soul in transmutation From forgetting to remembering all is love Oh Spirit Oh Creator Hear these ancient prayers That today we might illuminate our souls Shivoham (One with Shiva or One with all that is, One with Consciousness) VS 2 To live is to give, forgive all that is Your hate, your fear, your near, be clear Liberate dear soul, from the suffering of all See through all the walls, stand tall never fall Root down, feel the sound, of the One all around From the Earth to the crown, through the stars you are found You are bliss, like a kiss, from the lips of abyss All creation, through vibration, feel your station of sensation Never leaves, only weaves, bended knees, hold the keys To the heart of the One, from the cosmos to the Sun This is Earth, this is life, we signed up, it is time To be free and to sing, celebrate unity Ch Bridge Shiva Shiva Shiva Shiva Shiva (Auspicious One, Pure and Supreme Consciousness) Maha Deva Maha Deva Shambo Shambo Maha Deva :Great God or Spirit or Consciousness Shambho: Auspicious One of to realize the highest within yourself.

Vs. Prana Apana Shushmaana Hari Hari Har Hari Har Hari Har Hari Ch. Just breathe Breathe in this life Beathe in this love Breathe into your heart Vs. Yes we purify our hearts Yes we purify our minds Yes we purify the way we relate to the divine Harmonize with the wise, who tell us to align With the cycles of the Earth and the cosmic design Common everyone, lift up those spirits high We gotta lift it up, if we gonna rise high Everyday is a new day to serve her majesty Ch. Mantra translation: Prana - Life Force Apana - Great Cleanser of the System Sushumna -Channel for the Life Force Hari / Har - Great Creative Infinity More Information: Prana is the life force, and Sushumna is the central channel for that force. This mantra helps draw energy up the spine for healing. Hari and Har are names of God. When prana and apana flow together through Sushumna - the central passage of the spinal column - to the top of the head, the experience of samadhi takes place, which is the goal of all yogic practice.

Poem by Hafiz: Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the entire sky. English lyrics by Ananda Yogiji: So make your love like the sun and shine down on everyone. Mantra: Ang Sung Wahe Guru Translation: The dynamic, loving energy of the Infinite Source of All is dancing within my every cell, and is present in my every limb. My individual consciousness merges with the Universal Consciousness. The Infinite Being, God, is with me and vibrates in every molecule and cell of my being. More Information • As Gurucharan Singh, director of training at the Kundalini Research Institute, writes, “This mantra expresses a universal truth. Repeating it creates a thought, which gradually guides the psyche to adjust itself. It reconnects every fragmented projection of the psyche, each separated part of the body, and synchronizes the finite sense of self to the Infinite Oneness. This act of rejoining the separated parts is the quintessential act of healing. Under attack, under war, under the pressures of fear, this meditation keeps us together, conscious, and ready to act. It brings the inner peacefulness that comes only from the touch and scope of spirit.”

Vs. I feel these changes, they're carrying me Onto a new life or so it would seem Uncertainty, clarity, unity, where will we be Decisions that could change so much of this life as it was A new chapter is born, pages yet to be seen My breaths go deeper these days Love and gratitude are all that stays ya The season of change ya, is deep within my soul The winds carrying me forth, to a place I've known long before Ch 1 Who am I now and who will I become? Oh, there's so much to this life I'm grateful for all I've learned and Oh, Spirit surrounds me Oh, Spirit's within me Oh a new day will come Shining like the brilliant sun ya Vs 2 (Sung by Kevin James) So many friends have come So many friends have gone So many still yet to come The smiles and the tears that shed The tapestry of this web Of the lives I've lived before and The lives I'm soon to live Ch 2 Vs 3 I won't be afraid of what's soon to be Just accept what lies ahead In all its' beauty, well, Hearts may break, things will change The lives we lived, will never be the same And that's ok, And that's ok And It's ok, And It's ok Ch 3 (Sung with Ananda, Kevin and Michael) Ch 4 (Sung with all vocalists)

Vs 1 The seasons come and they go, changing over time. The leaves will grow and fall, the cycles of life. But you are the constant, ever in my life. Guiding me on. The thought of you brings so much joy. The thought of you brings me home. The thought of you brings me to my knees. Knowing there's so much more. ch. How may I serve you more. How may I love you more. How may I be closer to you. Vs 2 You are the wind, that presses against my sails. The stars that Shine bright, through the thickest veils. You are this vessel, carrying me along the way. Ever towards my heart. Ch How may I serve you more. How may I love you more. How may I be closer to you.

You're the Creator. You're the Sustainer. You're the Destroyer of all. You're my lover. You're my partner. You're my teacher of all. You're the earth from which all things grow. You're the water, the eternal flow. You're the fire that glows on and on. You're the air I breath in for this song. You're the sweetness that embraces me. You're the all pervading truth and beauty. You're the infinite love, bestower of grace. You're the compassion, the healing space. Mantras: Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo Meaning: I call on Infinite Creative Consciousness. I call on Divine Wisdom.

about

This is Ananda's first solo studio album and remixed and remastered by renowned audio engineer Ben Leinbach. If you have the first release, we highly recommend to check out the remix. It's spectacular. Not only an overall sonic upgrade, but Ananda added his electric guitar playing on One with All Creation, Breathe and Ang Sung Wahe Guru. Totally next level. Check it out!

It is a collection of perhaps his most well loved songs that mix English devotional poetry and mantras. This album is great yoga, road trips, dancing, singing to and so much more. It will uplift, heal, inspire and invoke a profound state of connectedness to life, Spirit and Love.

"I listened to Flower of Life every day for a whole week after my best friend and furry companion Jessie passed away early in 2019. I felt like I was drowning in sorrow and grief, but when I listened to Ananda's songs, my pain was transformed into a deep initiation of the heart. The songs Calling Us Home and Seasons of Change filled me with wonder, hope and gratitude for this beautiful journey called life. The whole album helped me navigate the death of my friend in a profound and almost shamanistic awakening." Gigi Love, National Parks Trails and Rails Troubadour and Songwriter

"The Flower of Life' is a lush, melodic, heart-filled masterpiece with the finest acoustic musicianship in this era. The songs inspire hope and compassion when we need it most. It's my new favorite 2018 recording" - Mike Meyer, KRVM-fm and concert producer. Best DJ award 2001 Eugene, OR

"I am completely BLOWN AWAY. I knew Ananda's album would be wonderful, I had no idea how much he would create his own signature sound. I love it! There are so many layers to every track and his energy totally shines through. Thank you for this gift! " Dawn Cartwright- Creatress of Chandra Bindu Tantra Institute

The album is loaded with amazing singers and musicians you may know. Artists such as Prem and Jethro of Sacred Earth, Govind Das and Radha, Sukh Dev and Akahdahmah of Aykanna, Masood Ali Khan, Kevin James, Michael Stillwater, and Annmarie Soul. His long time musical partner Jaya Lakshmi is also singing on many of the tracks as well.

He also felt inspired to record some of his dear friends and inspirations in the Yoga teaching world. They have been such a huge support to him and it was so fun to get them to sing on this album. For some, it was their first time ever singing and being recorded on an album! Teachers such as Kia Miller, Tommy Rosen and Sianna Sherman for their first studio recordings as well as Saul David Raye and Janet Stone. So much fun!

This album is also supported by some highly talented musicians such as Ben Leinbach on drums, Shaun Ferguson who helped arrange the drums, Meghan Engel on violin and viola, Richard Cole on bass, Terre Lee on violin for the track Shivoham, Brent Keuker on bass for the track Breathe, and Ankush Vimawala on tabla.
